Pain relief
Hi all, it is coming up to the dreaded period week and I can feel the pain arriving already. I was wondering if anyone takes any painkillers in advance/before the worst of the pain sets in. I was off work for 3 days last month and looking for new ways of pain management. I'm awaiting a laproscopy and

Not living with RLS
Hi I'm writing this as I have now been awake for 36 straight hours. I'm beside myself due to my RLS and PLM. Last night after my partner had gone to bed I tried to sleep, but was unable too. The nasty sensation in my thighs, my shoulders and my feet had me walking on my treadmill for 3 hours, I cooked

What could be causing my dizziness?
Hi. I haven't posted before so I hope it's clear to read! So, I'm having a problem with dizziness, which can last all day but only seems to happen occasionally. This is combined with dry mouth and sleep disturbance (also spinning). Audiology have tested me and can't find any problems there, so what

OPERATIONS WITH RLS
Has anyone suffering from severe RLS undergone a hip or knee operations? I have had both hips replaced and have just got home from having a knee replaced.. It is quite apparent that nursing staff do not know very much about RLS and the effect that it has on the healing process of such operations.

Garlic and whole wheat bread are helpful
I noticed that my wife's spaghetti sauce seemed to help my RLS. After a few weeks I realized that it was the garlic in the sauce that seems to make a difference. Garlic alone will not get me safely through the night, but when combined with 24mg of codeine, 1.5mg of ropinirole, and 200mg of gapapentin

Toxic multi nodular thyroid
Thank you so much for all your replies. Very much appreciated. I have been getting copies of my blood results. Will try to get everything together and post on site. Didn’t know carbimazole could be stayed on long term if doing ok with it. Endo said I could only have it for 18 months because it was too

Further to previous post
It should have read in there that I’m back on carbimazole (hoping to come off it again soon). Also, forgot to mention that my understanding of the definition of a goitre is an enlarged thyroid, but my thyroid isn’t enlarged so I’m confused. Any thoughts? I’m questioning diagnosis, and therefore questioning

Toxic multi nodular goitre
Ultrasound showed no enlargement of thyroid, just heterogenous (bumpy?) appearance with (due to?) small nodules throughout. Negative thyroid antibodies with TPO of 20 (TG antibodies not checked). Different opinions as to cause ie 1. Nodules are producing thyroxin leading to hyperthyroidism and 2. Nodules

Endo appointment next week
Hi everyone, I posted back in July to ask for advice on my blood test results. I've since been seeing a private endo, and have more blood test results. I'm seeing him again next Wednesday and want to get some advice on what to push for when I see him. A bit of background, I had RAI in September 2018

Thanks to Everyone for your part here, your God sent.
Just want to say that I have been feeling good, and I’m thankful for this group, I’ve learned a lot, and more with the UK. I’m in the United States and some of the other forums here in the State is not as knowledgeable as this Group. Just to let you all know that hopefully I am in remission even tho

Too much iodine
I see a functional doc here in the US. I have blood drawn monthly and usually things are mostly fine. A little over two months ago my bloodwork showed my iodine level to be low, he told me to supplement so I did. I was feeling fine, had my bloodwork last month which showed my iodine had gone back to

Radioactive iodine treatment worries
